evopilot

has anybody ever experienced this: When not used the car in a number of hours i get to the car ignition on and press the start button and all you can here is a small click of the relay under the steering column. Ive you hold down on the start button you will hear a second click of the relay too but the car wont turn over. No matter how many times you press the button or how long you press it nothing happens apart from that relay clicking. If you go off for 5-6 minutes and come back to the car and try start it then it will 99% of the time turn over and start as normal. Before i go buying a new starter motor or battery i wanted to put it out there in-case somebody else came across this issue, my gut is telling me its one of them

this issue ended up to be a failed clutch slave cylinder leaking inside the gearbox, gearbox off, clean like hell and clean some more and replace the part. sadly it would be ver hard to inspect this issue with the gearbox on 😕

do you get this error on the dashboard: "Engine start system fault. Please contact workshop"

bump

how did you get on with these did you fit them?

just wondering if you ever went with this tune? always curious when companies make these BHP increase claims without seeing the car etc

ill send you a PM

have you got a link on ebay?

Plate is currently on the car and coming off asap open to offers

defiantly a Nox sensor issue, that car cant talk to the sensor for whatever reason The easy one is check the sensor is not dead after that you looking at checking the wiring unfortunately which is a right pain

wouldn't say that's the master cylinder at all going by being able to start on a rolling start two questions? 1. Have you any fault codes with VCDS or ODIS (or any reputable diagnostics scanner) 2. Next time you go to first start the car in the morning can you attach a jumper pack or jump leads and try a cold start to see if the problem remains? I ask the above as question 1 would tell you if you had a master cylinder sensor fault or a starter motor circuit fault and question 2 is more of a hunch.... Ive seen on 2 Audi's now when the battery is getting tired everything looks OK but theirs not enough kick in the battery to start her when shes cold especially with the cold snap of December/January weather

Thanks Shimi, replied to you there

i actually ordered some Chinese ones today, now i play the waiting game for delviery

is the E10 in the UK a bio ethanol mix of 10 or what way do you guys do it over there? i remember we used to have E5 petrol here around 15 years ago and it was great for Jap cars as it brought up the octane rating but it was bad for the euro cars even back then especially BMW's
